Chapter 1425 Dark Sample Acquired
Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
-------------
The world's strongest surely can't be a forgetful person. Right?
"Sir Jack, he is here to check on us," One of the MBO researchers voiced from behind while approaching.
They walked through the underground passage entrance and surrounded E.E.
"Sure, just be careful," Jack stated before ascending across the air in the next instant.
He went back to watching over the vicinity from up there while the researchers welcomed E.E.
They led E.E. towards the underground entry point and he followed them with a look of relief on his face. The main hindrance had been avoided.
They walked through icy tunnelways leading to different spots within the research facility. The place was quite massive and E.E. couldn't help but think that despite its size, only one entity was being held within.
E.E. passed by a couple of underground research stations where different scientists were working on projects related to the Death Angel. He then asked to check in with some of the stations and even discovered what they were each working on before moving toward the next.
'How to weaken a death angel.'
'How to harness the death angel's power.'
'How to make the dark creature submissive.'
E.E. made sure to note down the objectives of each research station, as well as how far they had come in achieving them.
'Trust the government to always want to get the power of anything without fully understanding it yet,' E.E. secretly shook his head disapprovingly.
He wasn't too surprised by all he was seeing but at the same time, he hoped that they wouldn't end up messing things up.
Judging by how much time the death angel had been underneath the surface, it seemed like no intelligible decision had been undertaken yet.
When E.E. thought about it, he felt someone had to be responsible for keeping things in order and he was right. Grand Commander Shion had been making things look superficial on the surface because of the others. Only he and a few researchers knew the true objective they were working on.
After scooting about the place, the researchers finally brought E.E. to the precise location where the restrained Death Angel was situated.
"It's been a while," E.E. muttered while standing before the massive reinforced metal transparent glass.
On the other side of the glass that separated them was the Death Angel, whose dark limbs were firmly bound.
The creature's hollow ashy eyes made contact with E.E. and it suddenly began making a strange noise.
"Kukukukukuku!" The Death Angel sounded like a chattering monkey but continued to make a noise.
"So you think he is a hero... the earth prodigy responsible for the death of billions... I see," General Reina voiced with a tone of understanding.
"I don't..." E.E. paused and let out a small sigh.
"The world seems to have forgotten his deeds so quickly. Two things can be true at the same time, General. And one of them happens to be the fact that he has indeed saved the entire planet more than once. No matter how much everyone tries to deny it, the deed is already written in the history books," E.E. smiled while pointing out.
The entire place descended into utter silence as the researchers refrained from butting in. It was a sensitive topic after all.
"Now, if you will excuse me, General," E.E. said respectfully before turning around to leave.
General Reina watched his departing figure with a keen gaze, 'Thank you for telling me that you are aware of Gustav's return to earth.'
"Come, Gohan. Let's go," General Reina stood upright and proceeded to walk out.
After they were all gone, the researchers let out sighs of relief as the pressure in the air lessened.
"That was intense..."

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow across the skyline of Plankton City. The setting sun painted the sky in a stunning array of warm hues.
Ribbons of pink and orange streaked across the horizon, blending seamlessly with the deepening shades of purple and blue that signaled the approaching night.
Skyscrapers of sleek glass and steel shimmered in the fading light, their mirrored surfaces reflecting the enthralling setting sun. Vibrant colors filled the evening sky as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting a breathtaking tableau of natural beauty that stretched out as far as the eye could see.
"I have gotten the sample,"
E.E. appeared within his apartment from a swirling violet sea of energy.
"You're back."
"Finally."
The group who had been awaiting his return the entire time, chanted in excitement.
"Sorry I took so long, I still had to submit my report," E.E. said while staring at the sunset view from the window by the right.
"So long as you got it. That is all that matters," Gustav stated with a nod of satisfaction.
"Hmm? Where did Aildris and Ria go?"
